Where Were They

[Intro]

Out on a lick, were the days

When I had the old house and the whip (TheElements)

No pan let it sit, gotta face it you was just out with a chick

Face it, grrt

Mm-mm (AoD), yo, ba-ba, yo

[Verse 1]

She sick of this life I choose, that gun

Case could've been live on news (Mm-mm)

Spend five-foot bands for them yutes

In the 9, I'm movin' like Vladimir Puts

Bro said he ain't riding with troops

Just one man, fuck that, grip it, and shoot

I could've called gang but I refuse (Ey)

'Cause ten man gliding so we're just loose (Boom)

Even though I'm up, ain't shit changed (Baow)

Man will line you up, no skin fade

Root for this guy, Tijumie

But you know the back was insane (Mad)

It's funny how things changed (Woo)

Gyal said I wouldn't be shit, now she wanna come in my whip

Saw the Rollie, now, she's on my dick

Spend ten this week but I want more (Money)

West End's too bait, on the shop floor (Ey)

It's on France, every time I go Louis (Ey)

Bought the whole shop like bonjour (Bonjour)

Told babes, "No time for your contour" (Boom)

Probably had feds at the front door (Ey)

But now I had money in offshore, got the taxman all unsure

Man came up with waps, no shankin'

Quick handtings, hold man for ransom

My lifestyle was a mad ting, sad ting

Beef my set, no chat, just bang him (Boom)

Talk, no action, tryna fly straight, I'm glad that's happenin'

Man army, no talk, I'm crashin', car, Grand Auto fashion

[Chorus]

Where were they when I was out on a lick? (Ey)

Where were they when I was had the old ass in the whip? (Ey, ey)

Where were they? No pan, let it sit

Gotta face it, you was just out with a chick (Boom)

All my life had to hustle and slip

All my teachers told me I wouldn't be shit

Where were they when I couldn't get kicks? (Baow)

Now the streets with me, man, I make a man dip (Mm-mm)

[Verse 2]

I was makin' man dip, seen the thirty round, fast

When my brother get stick, he would grip it and blast (Mm-mm)

Man, dip it and stick it in until it bark

Now we whip it, and squeeze it, and flip it in park

Every time they put me in bars, punch man for the enhance

Mama told me "listen in class" but in the streets, I'm Michelin-starred

Man, fiddlin', hittin' him, makin' man dance

I was fidgitin', stickin' him, 'til I shots

Wasn't ever gonna stop, then I went and got charged

One million, million, tryna live large

Where were they? But days can't blame me

There were days when the set wan' break me

All this talk but your chat don't faze me

All you do is act like Patrick Swayze

[Chorus]

Where were they when I was out on a lick? (Ey)

Where were they when I was had the old ass in the whip? (Ey, ey)

Where were they? No pan, let it sit

Gotta face it, you was just out with a chick (Boom)

All my life had to hustle and slip

All my teachers told me I wouldn't be shit

Where were they when I couldn't get kicks?

Now the streets with me, man, I make a man dip (Mm-mm)

Where were they when I was out on a lick?

Where were they when I was had the old ass in the whip?

Where were they? No pan, let it sit

Gotta face it, you was just out with a chick

All my life had to hustle and slip

All my teachers told me I wouldn't be shit

Where were they when I couldn't get kicks?

Now the streets with me, man, I make a man dip
